To want to bleach my vagina!

About a month ago my sons teacher informed me he had an itchy bottom! It could well be that he hadn't wiped properly after pooing (he's only 5yrs) but as a precaution I wormed us both (and re-treated 2weeks later).

Last week he was itching again. Checked for worms and saw white bits on his bottom, could have been worms, could have been bits of tissue from wiping. Again I treated us both. Two nights ago my bum itched, could have been a normal itch but in a panic I treated myself AGAIN. In the process I've given myself cystitis. Anyway now I've done the worst thing and Googled and read they can move to the vagina ..... WTAF, vagina worms! I'm completely freaking out, it's bad enough to think they may be in my bottom but in my vag, urgh, AIBU to want to bath my bits in bleach?! Headlice I could deal with but worms, hell no! I've turned into a paranoid monster insisting on handwashing every hour and cleaning everything a million times.

Can someone tell me it's normal to feel so freaked out by worms? I'm worried we won't get rid of them (that's if they are indeed there).

P.S Sorry about your vag.

MunchCrunch01 · 07/07/2016 22:00

that's it, i'm off the sugar tomorrow! I'm sure you can starve the worms out by stopping eating sugar and white carbs - they are of course, the source of all pure evil in the world. DD has recently been infested with headlice, after a week of treatments and combing I'm off to buy one of those electronic nit zappers...

Just don't bleach your vag with toothpaste, it'll go blue!

AnotherPrickInTheWall · 07/07/2016 22:01

I'm lost for words.

JuneFromBethesda · 07/07/2016 22:01

You have my sympathies. I will never forget the moment I saw worms on my daughter's bottom, and I spent the next few days utterly paranoid that I was infected too (I wasn't, as it happened, but lying in bed at night it was very easy to convince myself that I could feel them wriggling .... ugggghhhhh). I also spent the next few days washing everything that wasn't nailed down, and hoovering everything that was. Shudder.

arent they good for dieting

Lol peach pudding - no, that' a tapeworm!!
Random fact: apparantly the opera singer Maria callas ate meat infected with tapeworm to make her lose weight - ew

SemiNormal · 07/07/2016 22:07

Lol peach pudding - no, that' a tapeworm!! Oh great, there really is no silver lining to threadworms then, I was holding on to that glimmer of hope that at least I may lose a couple of lbs.

I have to say if you have treated you are more likely to be itching from wiping/washing a lot or just thinking about it.

It is gross, but part of having kids/living with other humans and like headlice it really doesn't mean you are in any way dirty! Apparently lots of people have them, but don't know as they don't react to the itch making stuff!

SemiNormal · 07/07/2016 22:08

Just don't bleach your vag with toothpaste, it'll go blue! You've completely lost me here, why would it go blue? (not sure I should be asking) Grin

Don't make me Google Dean Gafney+bleach+vagina. Please put me out of my misery Sad

SemiNormal · 07/07/2016 22:13

Gazelda I just assumed it meant that Dean is a bit grim and that if I'd be sleeping with him I may want to bleach my vagina to rid myself of any remaining traces of him.

DC1 got them once ever since I've wormed us when I've wormed the Ddogs Grin do I get a gold star?

janethegirl2 · 07/07/2016 22:17

Some toothpaste has blue stripes so I'm guessing the colour may transfer....

janethegirl2 · 07/07/2016 22:18

I'm surprised that more people don't routinely de worm young children tbh

SemiNormal · 07/07/2016 22:21

I'm surprised that more people don't routinely de worm young children tbh - I definitely will be from now on, I had no idea how common it is in young children,

I'm sure I read a thread on here once where the poster had worms in her eyes. Eyes Shock

SemiNormal · 07/07/2016 22:32

ispymincepie That thought crossed my mind, that's why I've not worn my contact lenses since I suspected them. Also just read about someone sneezing one out. I need to stop Googling now!

I do, they don't get resistant to the meds they don't live long enough. Some people are weird about 'unesessary' meds are prefer to fuck about with torches and peering until they're sure. Fuck that, I worm the cat I worm the kid.

TheFairyCaravan · 07/07/2016 22:46

You've completely lost me here, why would it go blue? (not sure I should be asking)

There was a poster who tried to bleach her anus with whitening toothpaste. It was blue gel iirc and it dyed it blue. It was a very funny thread, I was hoping it was in Classics but I can't find it.

NovemberInDailyFailLand · 07/07/2016 22:49

You don't have them for life! I had them when I was 12. I don't have them now!

For you to be reinfected, they have to get into your mouth. So get nailbrushes, wash all stuff at 60, wear pyjamas, you get the idea :)

gamerchick · 07/07/2016 22:53

Yup, shower first thing while you have them type of thing.

Crispbutty · 07/07/2016 22:54

This is quite possibly the funniest thread I have ever seen on this site grin

I thought I'd share my poem I wrote this morning dedicated to the worms!!

Ode to the Worms!

Twas the night before treatment and all through the house
The family itched but no sign of headlouse
The itching was not in the families hair
It was a squirming sensation, right down there

The children were scratching whilst tucked in their beds
While out of bottoms; worms poked their heads
And mum aroused from her late evening nap
Saw the white wigglers after taking a crap

Mum shrieked, her teeth began to chatter
Dad came running to see what was the matter
Away to get a torch dad did dash
He bent mum over, inspecting her arse with a flash

The worms they shone like flecks of snow
Back up mums bottom the worms did go
Then what to dads wondering eyes should appear
Another stringy thread from out of mum's rear!

These worms were disgusting, so lively and quick
Dad yelled as he felt an itch on his dick
The children hearing shouting climbed down the stairs
To see mum plucking the blighters from her pubic hairs!

‘Now Chardonnay, Charlie, Angel and Brad
We’re infected with worms, just look at your dad!’
Sweating profusely without any pants
Dad appeared to be doing a strange kind of dance.

He itched and he scratched until his behind was raw
The children all traumatised with the visions they saw
Then suddenly the children all began to twitch
Pulling their underwear trying to ease away the itch!

All night the shenanigans continued all ‘round
Screams of delight as each worm was found
Then in the morning they showered and dressed
Dad runs to the chemist for bottles of Ovex

Upon dads return they all took a pill
The ordeal had left mum, feeling quite ill
She bleached the whole house from bottom to top
Out came the hoover, the steam cleaner and mop

They sat still in silence, the rest of the day
In hopes they’d done enough to keep those worms at bay
By evening dad had gone for a poo
The worms visibly dead floating around in the loo

A couple of weeks later they’d readied for bed
When across mums face came a look of dread
She started to twitch in an unusual fashion
Dad looking panicked and decidedly ashen

‘Quick, get the Ovex, come quickly you jerk -
Why oh why did this crap not work?’
Dad read the instructions and then realised
They forgot the next dose, what a horrid surprise!

Again they scrubbed, cleaned and medicated
To personal hygiene they were all dedicated
Those worms were now gone, not one left in sight
Finally no more bum scratching night after night.

SemiNormal I would take my chances with the worms I think.
